You don't necessarily need a PC to be a member of the PCMR. You just have to recognize that PC is objectively superior to consoles in every way as explained here. It's not about the hardware in your rig, but the software in your heart!

Rule #1 Harassment of others is strictly forbidden. We will not tolerate any kind of incitement to action against anyone, nor will we allow the posting of information that can be used to harm others (celebrities or not).

Rule #3 Do not link directly to threads in other subreddits. This includes NP links. Do not attempt to circumvent this rule by any means.

Rule #4 Screenshots of Reddit, Facebook, Youtube, and other website's comments should have the usernames blacked out (including yours!). Celebrities are the exception, as long as you respect rule #1.

Rule #5 No referral or affiliate links.

Rule #6 All content must be relevant to what is usually discussed here on its own. Also, unrelated content, blatant reposts/fad-chasing, concern trolling, low-effort or especially unoriginal content will be removed. Reaction images are not allowed as submissions unless they are high effort or especially original. This rule is to be enforced at moderator discretion.

Rule #7 Age, nationality, race, gender, sexuality, religion and economic status are all irrelevant here. All are welcome in the PC Master Race. Also, linking the PC Master Race with racial supremacy or any kind of fascist ideologies, as well as making distasteful analogies in this regard, is not acceptable in the slightest.

Rule #9 Don't mark your post as NSFW unless it actually is NSFW. Please message the mods first if your submission has nudity.

Giveaway Rules

The Master Race is generous. When we do giveaways we do it within the bounds of our subreddit. Feel free to give the games as you see fit, but don't mandate subscriptions or other benefits. You can post about your channel, just don't make it a requirement to go, comment or subscribe there to get prizes or to increase the likelihood of getting them. We prefer image screenshots of keys to avoid potential key-stealing bots. Consider PMs as a safer way to hand out keys.

Charity giveaways must be verified by moderators.

Users giving away physical items must provide photographic proof of ownership (including their username and date) in the giveaway thread. Shipping fees must be entirely financed by the user doing the giveaway (limiting the winner's location is allowed).

It's become very annoying for me not having anything to use for chat when playing games and I've also been thinking about starting a YouTube series and would need a means to record my voice while playing. I am aware that standalone mics can get very very expensive but I don't really have the money for that kind of thing. What kind of price should I be looking at to get a decent standalone mic and what are some decent ones I can get, and from where.

I have this one. It's very clear and the stand is sturdy. The only thing you have to do if recording is to cut out the ambient noise. It's really easy with Audacity and doesn't take more than a couple of seconds.

I also have a Trust mic, it cost me £3 from Amazon and i have not had a single problem with it. When testing it out originally with my friends they all said the mic quality was great. A £3 microphone seemed a bit shady to me but it was actually amazing.
